City of Tshwane 'moving forward' but 'no major change'

Whether the City of Tshwane has improved under ActionSA mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya's leadership is a matter of contestation.

ActionSA national chair Michael Beaumont said ActionSA's visit to the City of Tshwane with Moya confirmed Tshwane was moving forward after a long time.

Beaumont said Moya has made considerable progress in a short period.

"In September 2024, ActionSA leadership travelled to areas in the city where residents suffered from long-term, serious service delivery failures - from sewage spills in backyards to communal areas which had become dumping grounds. We returned to these areas to assess the progress made under the leadership of Moya and her coalition team," he said.

Beaumont went to various sites, including Rietgat sewage treatment works, Makhaza sports ground and Soshanguve reservoir where the city has made some progress in fixing water leaks and stopping illegal dumping.

"Moya and her team continue to tackle difficult work with the humility of knowing how much more needs to be done," he said.
